#016 - EDUTECH: Rachel Chung, BEAPTIVE

Tech In Seoul, in partnership with La French Tech Seoul, meets Rachel Chung, Co-Founder and CEO at BeAptive.
BeAptive is (in Rachel's own words) a social media app for kids using an educational twist to create future digital citizens. 
In this episode, Rachel tells us how her professional experience in Korea brought her to launch BeAptive, how BeAptive is different from traditional social networks and what it is like to start a small Tech business after having been working for a Tech giant like Naver.
UPDATE: On July 28th, 2021 Rachel has made the following announcement:

"Due to unforeseen circumstances with our investor combined with the current situation with COVID, we have come to the hard decision not to continue with BeAptive and close the company at the end of this month.

Although the team and I will not be moving forward with BeAptive, we are super excited about starting again with a clean slate! On behalf of all of us, I want to thank you for your continued support over the past year. It has meant a lot to us, especially during the most challenging times."
